Description

Telenomus gifuensis Ashmead

Fig. 1 A – C

Diagnosis.

The distance between the inner margin of the compound eyes is smaller than the width of the compound eyes in frontal view (Fig. 10 A), and the presence of two sublateral setae on the first tergite (Fig. 10 B) separate this species from Te. truncatus (figs 1–45), and Te. turesis (Figs 5 – 7). In addition, Te. gifuensis can be distinguished from Te. turesis by the presence of a median mesoscutal line (mml) on the posterior margin of the mesoscutum (Fig. 10 C). Mahmoud and Lim (2008) reported this species as a solitary parasitoid of D. baccarum, Piezodorus hybneri (Gmelin), Riptortus clavatus (Thunberg), and Nezara antennata Scott. We also add Piezodorus rubrofasciatus (Fabricius) to the list of species as a new associated host (specimen AVT 002233). Apart from this last record from Korea and the original description from Japan (Ashmead 1904), there are no further reports outside of the eastern Palearctic region.
